- 1 large overripe banana
- 3 tablespoons arrowroot powder

- ½ cup of raw almonds
- ¼ cup of super creamy sunflower seed butter can use nut butter
- ½ cup almond milk
Instructions
- preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- boil the sweet potato pieces in water for about 12 minutes or until tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- drain the sweet potatoes and then add all filling ingredients to a blender and blend until a smooth and thick consistency.
- for the crust ingredients, blend in a food processor until the consistency is sticky and grainy. add to a parchment lined 8 x 11 baking sheet. the crust is sticky, so you can slightly wet your hands to evenly distribute it.
- pour the filling on top and bake for 35 minutes. let the bars cool down COMPLETELY- 30 to 45 minutes before cutting into them. they're even better if refrigerated for a couple of hours.
- add toppings like vegan whipped cream if you want and enjoy!
